What are cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of text that our web server stores on your computer or mobile device, which your browser sends to us when you return to our site. Cookies do not necessarily identify you if you are merely visiting our website; however, a cookie may store a unique identifier for each logged in user. The cookies we use are essential for the operation of the website, or are used for performance, functionality and security purposes.

For example, cookies allow us to remember things about your visit to our website, such as your preferred language, time zone and other preferences in order to make the site and service easier for you to use.

In order to offer the highest level of usability, performance and security we use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A persistent cookie consists of a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, which will be stored by the browser and will remain valid until its set expiration date (unless deleted by the user before the expiration date). A session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

How and why we use cookies and similar technologies

The cookies and similar technologies we use, including web beacons, browser cookies, pixel tags and local shared objects (also called "flash cookies") all share one goal: to offer, measure and improve all aspects of our service continuously and in various ways. We differentiate between those cookies, which are strictly necessary for access and navigation, others that track usage (performance cookies), remember your choices (functionality cookies), and cookies that provide you with targeted content or advertising.

We use cookies for the following purposes and pursuant to Article 6 para. 1f GDPR:

1. Access and security (Strictly Necessary Cookies)

2. Settings (Functionality Cookies)

3. Analytics and research (Performance Cookies)

4. Advertising and marketing (Other Cookies)

In an effort to properly understand the way people use our website and service, we have implemented a number of analytics partners, including Google Analytics. These partners use cookies in order to gather information and analyse site navigation and how and from which websites users reached our website and service.

We do not release any information collected from our own cookies to any third party providers, expect for the service providers assisting in managing cookies.

What can I do to control how cookies are used?

You can disable the installation of cookies by entering the corresponding settings in your browser software (e.g. in Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, or Safari). In order to opt-out of Google Analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Program, available here:
